The Benefits of Mangosteen

ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION - Prevents cellular damage from free oxygen radicals, promotes healthy cellular functions and supports cardiovascular health.
IMMUNE SUPPORT - Supports your body's natural ability to fight infections, diseases, colds and flu.
INFLAMMATION CONTROL - Supports healthy prostaglandin and histamine levels to control inflammation.
ENERGY & STAMINA - Provides nutritional support to improve digestion and absorption of nutrients to combat fatigue and improve energy and stamina.
HEALTHY DIGESTION - Promotes a healthy digestive system.

Xanthones are found in the most quantities in the mangosteen hull (or pericarp) and can help you to STAY healthy by boosting your immune system.
According to professional journals such as Free Radical Research, Journal of Pharmacology, and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, these Xanthones...are some of the most powerful antioxidants to be found in nature.
While it's true that most young people are healthy -- and thankfully so -- no matter how old you are, you're being exposed to free radicals by the millions each day.

"It has been estimated that each human
cell undergoes ten thousand hits
from free radicals each day... causing
damage to cell proteins, DNA, fat lipids,
and membranes through oxidation. This
results in the generation of dysfunctional
molecules responsible for conditions
as diverse as cancers, lung disease,
demential, cardio vascular disease
and eye diseases."

- The Wellness Options, Lillian Chan
It''s far easier to address serious health challenges BEFORE they begin -- with prevention - than after they've already taken hold in your body.
If Mangosteen and its Xanthones are making this much visible difference in people's lives - Personal Experiences (PE's) -- then how many more INVISIBLE differences may be going on?
Wouldn't it make logical sense for a healthy person -- of any age -- to begin drinking Mangosteen right away, in order to give the strong antioxidants within the fruit a chance to help PRESERVE their healthy well-being as much as possible?
"...the stage is set...to enhance the likelihood of older persons not only to avoid disease and disability, but to truly age successfully."

~ Dr. John Rove

The Story of Mangosteen

Regarded as the "Queen of Fruits," Mangosteen is native to the Malay Archipelago and Indonesia. Today it is abundantly grown in most wet, tropical regions of the Southeast Asia and beyond. Historically, Mangosteen has been used as a folk remedy to treat digestive and urinary tract disorders and as a health tonic for a wide variety of conditions. Mangosteen's scientific designation is Garcinia Mangostana.

The secret to the Mangosteen unique health benefits are Xanthones - highly specialized phytonutrients with powerful antioxidant properties. Xanthones (pronounced zan-thones) are biologically active plant phenols that are structurally similar to flavonoids that possess a high degree of medicinal properties. Mangosteen boasts the highest concentration of Xanthones of any fruit. Xanthones help fight and prevent cellular damage caused by free oxygen radicals, thus strengthening your body's immune system and improving your overall health.
